* w1: optional bundling of netlink kernel repliesDavid Fries2014-05-271-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Applications can submit a set of commands in one packet to the kernel, and in some cases it is required such as reading the temperature sensor results. This adds an option W1_CN_BUNDLE to the flags of cn_msg to request the kernel to reply in one packet for efficiency. The cn_msg flags now check for unknown flag values and return an error if one is seen. See "Proper handling of unknown flags in system calls" http://lwn.net/Articles/588444/ This corrects the ack values returned as per the protocol standard, namely the original ack for status messages and seq + 1 for all others such as the data returned from a read. Some of the common variable names have been standardized as follows. struct cn_msg *cn struct w1_netlink_msg *msg struct w1_netlink_cmd *cmd struct w1_master *dev When an argument and a function scope variable would collide, add req_ to the argument.

* [PATCH] w1: Userspace communication protocol over connector.Evgeniy Polyakov2006-06-221-0/+98
There are three types of messages between w1 core and userspace: 1. Events. They are generated each time new master or slave device found either due to automatic or requested search. 2. Userspace commands. Includes read/write and search/alarm search comamnds. 3. Replies to userspace commands.
